Low lumbar CSF levels of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in multiple system atrophy with autonomic failure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low lumbar CSF concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in patients with multiple system atrophy attended by autonomic failure (MSA) reflect decreased activity in central dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways. These neurochemical changes are consistent with the neuropathological involvement in MSA and distinguish such patients from those with pure autonomic failure who have normal CSF metabolite levels.

A 2-year prospective follow-up study of 100% (N = 29) of a sample of children and adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders found that the baseline lumbar cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolite concentration and autonomic nervous system activity predicted some subsequent outcomes. The 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentration significantly predicted severity of physical aggression during ...

Nineteen patients with multi-infarct dementia (MID) assessed by neurologic and neurophysiologic examinations were also studied. The seve...

Concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were significantly higher in CSF obtained after injection of air during pneumoencephalography (PEG) than in lumbar CSF, as drawn before the injection. There was a high correlation between levels in the `mixed' and lumbar samples of CSF in the case of each of the two acids. The concentration of lumbar HVA, but not ...
